Chapter 78: Classic ending


Steve Bruce's buzzer goal finally locked the score between the Red Devils and the Wild Lions at 5:5.
This may not be enough to make up for his poor performance in the entire game, but it can also be regarded as a self-salvation.
Manchester United players surrounded Bruce excitedly, excited for the goal and the draw at the last minute.
Millwall's players were very disappointed. Schneider even knelt on the ground, gritted his teeth and closed his eyes sadly.
Why didn't you win? !
Someone stooped over his shoulders to support him, Schneider opened his eyes, and the captain Southgate’s calm face came into his eyes. Southgate said softly: "Stand up, hold our heads up, we should Thank you fans for your presence."
Schneider stood up and sorted out his emotions. He saw that other teammates had returned to normal from their loss. Everyone went to the East Stand and applauded the fans in the stands.
"An incredible game, Andy, this is the most exciting game I have explained, from the first minute of the game, no, to be precise, from the opening whistle of the referee to the end of the final whistle, this The game is so exciting that it will stay in memory forever."
"This is the Premier League! This is our most proud, favorite Premier League. The pace of the game is fast and the confrontation is fierce. There are many wonderful technical and tactical connotations. Although the two teams dedicated ten goals, their overall offensive and defensive quality is extremely high. High, and every goal is very exciting, close your eyes, those players who first entered the audience will come to mind one by one, Millwall’s players are all impressive, and Manchester United’s new generation of players has proved him Deserve the red heritage, Martin, this is a football feast. Although there are only a few European names on the field, but with the performance of this group of guys today, I firmly believe that in the future, they will shine on a larger stage , We are fortunate to witness the whole process of such a game today."
"I agree with you very much. If you want me to score players on the field, I think most players will get high scores. Ferguson may not be reconciled, because Cantona can't play, and the young Hall will also regret, Because his team lost three points at the last minute, but I want to say to the two head coaches: Thank you, this game will become a classic of the Premier League. There is no doubt that fans who did not watch the live broadcast are their loss because This is a football feast that can enjoy the last second from the first second. Okay, spectators friends, the game of Manchester United against Millwall, the live broadcast ends here, and we will see you in the next game."
Old Trafford, after the referee Du Jin sounded the whistle at the end of the game, the fans stood up and applauded, the applause continued for a long time.
Maybe Manchester United fans always think that the Red Devils will win the game.
But when the moment of the end came, they had some regrets in their hearts. It was not that Manchester United only got a draw, but that the ups and downs of the wonderful game was over.
On the court, players from both sides began to communicate after the game, and many people began to exchange jerseys.
Schmeichel walked in front of Larson. Although they were not from the same country, the two were speaking of the Nordic fellows in a large area. The two took off their shirts and exchanged.
"Hey, you should come to Manchester United to play football, you score a goal, I'm goalkeeper, we will win a lot of championships."
Schmeichel shamelessly began to dig the foot of the wall, but this is also an admiration and affirmation.
Larson laughed and said nothing.
Roy Keane took the initiative to find Nedved, and the two tough guys faced each other. The jersey was not only soaked in sweat, but also covered with mud, but the two took off the jersey and handed it to each other. The other side's jersey was put on the shoulder, and the two men took the right hand, and after releasing it, they turned and left. They didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Aldridge stood in the stands. After the game, he closed his eyes and blamed himself.
However, this is not an annoying occasion. He turned around to fulfill his promise to give Manchester United little fans a signature, but he saw the little boy's father gave him a thumbs up.
"Your team is amazing."
Aldridge smiled noncommittally.
The man's compliments are the same as himself.
To say that Millwall is amazing, no matter how great it is, is only a draw at Old Trafford. To put it bluntly, the subtext still says: Manchester United is very strong. You can draw to prove that you are not weak.
Aldridge took the watercolor pen from the little fan, signed his name on his hat, and left with a smile.
Ferguson had been waiting below. The old man blushed terribly before the game. Now it looks better.
"Aldrich, Manchester United may have lost the most important two points of the championship!"
Ferguson's tone was only a semi-easy joke.
But perhaps it is true that the process of losing the championship last season is still vivid.
Who knows?
Anyway, Aldridge didn't care.
He shook hands with Ferguson and smiled: "Alex, Millwall may have scored the most crucial point on the relegation path."
Ferguson pointed at him with wide eyes: "If you say Millwall is a relegation team, I would think you are mocking Manchester United!"
Millwall did not win at home. If Millwall is a relegation team, what will Manchester United do to compete for the championship?
And Ferguson has to admit deep down that Manchester United has played better than Millwall in a certain period of time.
Aldridge smiled and stopped lifting bars.
"I'm waiting for you in the office, and it's worth my collection today."
"Okay, see you later."
Aldridge and Ferguson were separated, and then went back to the locker room and chatted with the players briefly. After playing away, they had to take a car home.
At the press conference after the game, the reporters couldn't wait.
The reporters who watched the whole process of the game on the spot had too many problems, and many people couldn't calm down for a long time.
What kind of game is this?
Winning the championship, the Premier League overlord, the traditional giant Manchester United, in the main scene against the newly promoted horse, relegated to the last penultimate Millwall, actually played a game that no one can guess.
Manchester United fell behind first, then reversed, then reversed again, equalized, backward, and finally equalized the score.
Millwall is leading, being reversed, then reversed, and equalized, leading again before the end of the game and being equalized in the last second!
Fuck!
Not only did the process go up and down, the scene was full of passion!
Ferguson appeared, the old Scottish man's expression was normal, when the reporter asked: "Manchester United obviously lost their dominance of the game today, and lost the color of the old Trafford protagonist. As the coach, what do you think is the reason?"
Ferguson shrugged and said with a smile: "The reason is that this is the Premier League. Everyone who has watched the game knows that neither side intends to test their opponents. From the first second of the game, Milwaukee is very powerful. I think they are popular relegation experts who are idiots. They can make the game run at a very fast pace. Manchester United was a bit uncomfortable at first, but then I realized that since I can’t keep it, then I can only watch who enters. There are more balls, and in the end, we played a classic game."
"So, do you think Millwall is a strong contender for the championship this season?"
Ferguson nodded seriously, "Of course, can any one of you say when Manchester United lost five goals at home last time? And as two consecutive championships and a runner-up in the top league, Millwall's performance is not enough. Is it a shock to the champion?"
...
When Aldridge came for an interview, the reporters at the press conference could not help laughing.
Aldrich felt strange, and after sitting down, he asked, "Any questions?"
Richard of the "Daily Mail" raised his hand and Aldridge was an old friend with him, so he asked him to ask questions first.
"Mr. Hall, just now Mr. Ferguson said that Millwall is one of the league champion contenders. Do you agree with him?"
Aldridge said without hesitation: "Of course not. Millwall is still very young, and it has been lucky to be relegated to the Premier League this season."
He didn't want his team to become a target.
"But you scored five goals at Manchester United's home court and almost won the match. Manchester United has been behind for a long time."
Aldridge seriously said exaggeratedly: "Of course! This is the Dream Theater! Which team does not want to show here? To be able to play here, of course, cherish the opportunity, I think, Middlesbrough, Southampton, Queens Park Rangers and other teams visiting Old Trafford will also take out 200% of their fighting spirits, and then leave here with their heads upright at the end of the game."
All the reporters in the audience were happy.
Ferguson and Aldridge, both coaches, are hiding swords in their smiles.
Ferguson wanted to set Millwall on fire, Aldridge complimented Manchester United, but reminded other teams to come here to Manchester United to be a glory.
Maybe the Premier League has a pair of rivals.
"Millwall was equalized at the last minute. How do you feel? Disappointed with the players?"
Aldridge groaned for a moment and said: "I am sad and disappointed, because I have failed the efforts of the players, my players have been impeccable, but I have not been able to help them win. On my body."
The reporters at the stage were happy at first. They felt that Aldridge was going to blame the players. But he did not expect him to take responsibility for himself.
It's strange that Millwall was evenly equalized in this game, but it should have exceeded expectations. Isn't Aldridge not happy to take away three points?
"Mr. Hall, can you explain? Why do you feel blamed?"
Aldrich said frankly: "I should have used the last two substitutions to stop Manchester United's last minute offensive, but I was fined to the stands, and I forgot to remind the assistant that it was all my fault, the players It’s great, but I’m so bad."
The reporters were speechless. Although they all guessed that Aldridge would definitely buy people's hearts by saying this, but they could just say that in the face of more than forty media reporters. The players gave his life to him. Who would think Not worth it?
In the first round of the English Premier League in the 95/96 season, Manchester United played against Millwall at home. After the game, it was named the best match since the establishment of the Premier League. It was still ranked in the 10th and 20th anniversary celebrations of the Premier League. The top of the classic game list is not only because of the exciting stimulation and technical and tactical content of the game, but also of extraordinary significance. It is a milestone in the rise of many young stars in Manchester United and Millwall, declaring the arrival of a new era.
